It’s now been more than a year and 18,000 miles since we bought our 2011 Chevrolet Volt. After having the car for so long, we’d like to share some of our lasting likes and dislikes about the car to give you an all-encompassing view of our time with the plug-in hybrid. Overall, we’re pretty satisfied with the Volt, and despite its quirky cabin configuration and powertrain, this is a real car that can accommodate everyday use, according to Cars.com Executive Editor Joe Wiesenfelder.

Being a politician means never having to say you’re sorry. It now seems that the same philosophy holds true with government-owned General Motors. About eight months ago some owners of Chevy Volts complained that charging cords were overheating, sometimes to the point of melting. At the time, GM blamed owners, saying the wall outlets were the culprits. We now finally have GM addressing the safety concerns and agreeing to replace charging cords for all 9,500 Volts that have been sold since production began. But in what is becoming a new public relations precedent, the move is not being called a “recall.” More... Being a politician means never having to say you’re sorry.

Auto show returns with more vehicles than ever in an upscale new venue

Snappy new Spark subcompact leads General Motors’ offerings at the show.
The Ottawa-Gatineau International Auto Show is back after a four-year break, and it’s hard to say which is more noteworthy: the 200-plus new vehicles that make up the biggest auto show in our city’s history, or the new facility that houses them. Ottawa’s jewel-like Convention Centre opened for business about a year ago, 2 ½ years after the demolition of the auto show’s former home, the tired and too-small Congress Centre. More...
